Hijacked: Responding to the Partisan Church Divide by Charles E. Gutenson, Mike Slaughter
4.0
Mike Slaughter and Chuck Gutenson have written an important topic -- the role of politics in the life of churches. Even as the nation becomes increasingly polarized politically that divisive partisanship is encroaching on church life. Too often we are partisans first, Christians second.
Although I have problems here and there with the way the authors work with the issue, they raise an important issue that needs to be talked about.
One concern I have is that the church pastored by Mike Slaughter is a Mainline Protestant Church, and the book is published by a Mainline publisher, but the audience seems to be completely evangelical, with Mainliners like me not really part of the conversation.
Still, a helpful book that is written for the lay reader. Worth reading.
